Tungaloy VCMT160408-PS T9115 Turning Insert

High-Speed Steel Specialist | Premium CVD Coating | -PS Finishing Geometry

Which turning insert is best for high-speed continuous steel finishing?

The Tungaloy VCMT160408-PS T9115 is a high-performance 35° rhombic insert designed for maximum productivity in steel machining. The T9115 grade features Tungaloy's industry-leading CVD coating, optimized for wear resistance and thermal stability during high-speed operations. Paired with the -PS (Positive Sharp) chipbreaker, this insert provides exceptional chip evacuation at light to medium depths of cut, ensuring a high-quality surface finish and dimensional accuracy on a wide range of carbon and alloy steels.

T9115 CVD Grade

Optimized for high-speed steel turning. Features a thick Al₂O₃ layer and specialized PremiumTec surface technology to reduce friction and crater wear.

-PS "Sharp" Geometry

The positive rake angle lowers cutting forces and vibration, making it ideal for high-precision finishing where surface gloss is a priority.

0.8mm Radius Strength

Compared to the 0.4mm version, the 160408 offers higher edge strength and can handle increased feed rates while maintaining process stability.

Technical FAQ

Q: Can I use T9115 for interrupted steel cuts?

A: T9115 is optimized for continuous high-speed cutting. For interrupted cuts, we recommend T9125 for its superior toughness.

Q: What is the benefit of the -PS breaker?

A: The -PS (Positive Sharp) is a finishing breaker. It lowers cutting resistance and provides clean chip breaking at low feed rates.

Q: Is this suitable for stainless steel?

A: T9115 is a steel-specific (P-group) grade. For stainless steel, we recommend Tungaloy AH600 or AH700 series.

Machinist Tip: Heat Management

When machining with **T9115** at high speeds, ensure consistent coolant flow to maximize the life of the CVD coating. Avoid thermal shock by maintaining a stable temperature at the cutting edge. **BEYOND CNC** - Powering Your Productivity.

Technical FAQ & Buying Guide

How do I choose the correct specification?

When choosing CNC cutting tools, check the full model code, dimensions, grade and selected variant before ordering. Do not rely on the product image alone.

How can I check compatibility with my existing setup?

For carbide inserts, tool holders, drills and end mills, compare the mounting dimensions, connection type and manufacturer's specifications with your holder or machine. If you are unsure, share your existing part number and machining application with us before ordering.

What quantity and price unit am I ordering?

Check the product listing for the selling unit, pack quantity and included components. If it is unclear whether the price is per piece or per pack, or whether a tool body and inserts are sold separately, contact us before purchasing.

How should I choose cutting parameters?

Select cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut using the relevant manufacturer's recommendations for your tool model, workpiece material, machine conditions and coolant method. The same settings are not suitable for every product or application.

Are bulk discounts available?

Our automatic quantity discount is 6% off for 2–9 items and 12% off for 10 or more items, based on the total product quantity in the cart. Other offers may not combine with this discount; check the applicable offer conditions.
